> The coronavirus doesn't kill people, it's their own organs shutting down that kills them.

Viruses are not simple vector of a heal factor.

Put that back in topic please. That it is, should all mosquitoes be destroyed, based on the vague assumption that mosquitoes kill humans, without caring about the ecological impact of removing species which where there since longer than mankind?

Now, how does it compare with the will to eradicate a specific virus which wasn’t a mankind concern a few months ago?

>You don't need to be a "well ackchyually" pedant on the internet all the time.

Isn’t that the kind of sentence that is doing what it critics?
Humans can't conceive of large timescales nor large numbers. That's why I use my Rubik's Cube example. A single glass of water contains enough molecules that if they were each a random Rubik's cube then there's a mathematical certainty that 512 of them will be perfectly solved (per glass).

For molecules that are a linear chain of only 2 possible items in the chain, it becomes a 'brute force search' of a 'puzzle space' to find a chain that 'does something like computer code', and the earth has the computing power to solve that brute force problem in 30 seconds, not 30 million years.

Yes. In reality, users would have a connection open with one or a small number of routing nodes.

The end result is very cheap and quick funds transfers to any node on the network. This lightning network infrastructure would make micropayments feasible.

Granted, there are still problems to solve. But this is the dream.
Someone should do a study on the performance impacts of using something like this on all sites for various kinds of "typical" web browsing profiles. I'm honestly guessing a lot of the losses would be in the noise for me personally.
Asymmetric cryptography under the tonnes of bullshit marketing.
I agree with that. But that was true in the previous elections too, though to a lesser degree. Something like 40% of Democrats thought the 2004 election was stolen due to voter fraud in Ohio. There were hearings in Congress. RFK, Jr. peddled the Ohio fraud story. 67% of Democrats believed that Putin “altered vote totals to help Trump win” in 2016.

I’m not comparing the impact of two situations! What Republicans did was shameful. Grandstanding and symbolically calling into question the legitimacy of the administration based on a big lie is worse than doing it based on a small lie. (Though, I think folks underestimate how many people with authority genuinely believe the election fraud lie, and also believed the Russia changed the votes lie. The vast majority of Americans don’t believe the official story about the Kennedy assassination! People are extremely prone to conspiracy theories.)

The UK is planning to forego the manufacturer's and the WHO's recommended time between doses in favour of getting the first dose to more people.

AFAIK nobody knows how that will affect efficacy and might render the entire vaccination program useless, all in the name of getting a higher number of people vaccinated so the headlines look better.

Like the parent said, typically it works like:

- browser ships a feature X

- they decide that X shouldn't be allowed in incognito (or that incognito mode returns fewer values, has lower quotas, uses different implementation that is slower/faster etc.)

- inadvertently, this becomes incognito detection vector

- people report the issue; the feature X is fixed

- another thing is shipped which accidentally allows
detecting incognito

- ad infinitum

> It wasn't politically correct to vote Brexit, so nobody mentioned it and just voted.

I'm sure this is part of what I experienced, but we asked a lot of people and there wasn't much noncommittal "not sures" or anything. It was a lot of flat "no ways."

> I'd take a business / economic hit over having a political end economic entity rule my country, especially one which contains countries that are ticking bombs with no hope to recover.

I've heard this line of reasoning before, and it's never quite made sense to me. The EU is an enormous area populated mostly with economies that are doing relatively fine. They're not all going to be fine all the time. Britain hasn't always been economically super healthy - the 1970s, when it joined the EU, were a pretty poor period in its economic history - and it still got the benefit of being in the EU. I don't want my state to secede from the Union because other states elsewhere have problems I don't have (though obviously plenty of people have felt that way throughout history).

It just feels like a lot of "I help mine and only mine" over "we all help each other," where "mine" means "people who are in the same geographical region as me, roughly speaking, with some exceptions." Who we decide to care about or not all feels really arbitrary, just as borders between countries are pretty arbitrary.

I'm not saying you personally are selfish, or that British people are selfish, but it does feel like a deeply self-serving and frankly misguided impulse. Britain and so much of the world are as peaceful and prosperous as they are today is because of a safe, peaceful global environment based on mutual assistance. (That's not to say things haven't gotten worse in the last ~10 years - just that for as bad as things are in this downturn now, they were so much worse in the not-too-distant past.)
Fios as well.
Don't forget, it could be both! : )

You say you’ve heard that but you cannot find the proof, because if it was in use, it was only used occasionally. They coined the term and they gave it the definition.
LTO tape (specifically that which is rated for 15-30 years of archival storage) with the drive. The tape is usually rated for a couple hundred full passes, which should more than meet your needs if you're writing once and sticking them somewhere safe.

SSDs don't have this archival longevity yet, and hard drives are better when powered up and the data is always hot for scrubbing and migrating when indicators of drive failure present.
I don't think you can simply deport EU member citizens from a EU state. From what I can understand at first glance it is only possible when the citizen has been sentenced for a heavy crime.

Tape. But that’s probably unrealistic.

Otherwise HDD.

Archiving is not a one-time thing, but a process.

CentOS has been a great project, I used to use the heck out of it. But one of the things I really like about Ubuntu is that their community and LTS releases are the Same. Exact. Thing.

'was scheduled out two months' - that's in fact a very long wait. Again, speaking about Montreal, I was able to see a specialist for 'problem A' in about two months as well, while had to wait for another 'specialist B' for a year+. I find those times just horrible.
I switched in late 2017 when they released quantum or neutrino or whatever they called it, a huge performance release.

As a backend dev and security focused eng I have little reason to test drive changes in all browsers.

FF has been smooth and stable for me across desktop OSs. Having no reason to alternate between that and Chrome, I’ve been confused by people saying it’s slow.

It’s been, to my memory, a flawless experience for 3+ years.

On the flip side, Chrome is a spy app, and a cognitive perception of web devs it’s faster does little to move me to use it.

I am one of Airbyte's founder. The initial version of was actually fully based on Singer and this is when we realize it wouldn't be possible for us to depend on it.

Amongst the main reasons: Singer seems to have been abandoned by StitchData (after they got acquired by Talend), the quality of the connectors is too unpredictable, Singer connectors are not usable outside the box.

We would have preferred to use an existing standard if one already existed. It was a tough decision for us to create something from scratch but now we are very satisfied with the decision. It is way easier for the community and for us to build connectors that meet quality standards and we can make it MIT so the community can have control on the evolution of the protocol.

We actually wrote a few articles about it:

Good job Mozilla! Do what Google never will - put users' privacy front and center.

On a sidenote, I might now re-enable cache that I kept disabled (well - cleared on exit) because of supercookies. I don't care that much if a single page tracks me, but I _really_ don't want Google to track me across sites. If Firefox protected me against that.. they would have one very grateful user. :)

EDIT: this also highlights why Google is so invested in Chrome - they can make sure that privacy doesn't interfere with their money-making machine. They really are brilliant. Brilliantly evil.

Load balancing and its different types
> This is not a feature of SQL, this is a feature of the database

Yet they always seem tied together eh? Somehow the conventions are stuck together, and that then affects how our systems work.

> Postgres supports both Perl and Python extensions that run in the RDBMS process

But I'm talking about not having to use the RDBMS process. If I have a text file on the disk, I can use a million different programs to access it. I don't have to run one program through another program just to open, read, write, and close the file with any program. Why don't we design our databases to work this way?

> Very few people use them because running in the RDBMS process means that you can break the RDBMS process in really bad ways

Yes, it does sound bad. That's why I'd prefer an indirect method rather than having to wedge access through the RDBMS

> So if you consider other processes that communicate with the database and then show views of that over other protocols, that describes most of the backend apps in the world.

Yep! We architect entire systems-of-systems just because the model for our data management in an RDBMS is too rigid. We're building spaceships to get to the grocery store because we haven't yet figured out roads and cars.
China sentences top banker to death for corruption and bigamy
I get the impression you're too smart to change your opinion on this. That's not meant sarcastically; smart people are able to rationalize away even the most extreme cognitive dissonance. I don't blame you. Looking at a situation from a viewpoint opposed to one's own is quite literally physiologically painful, and who needs that.

There's also nothing to be gained by doing so. Most likely your family and friends and co-workers, given your area, are of a similar mindset, so there's no social capital to be gained. It's unlikely that it will net you a better job or higher paying salary, or make your life easier in any way.

Seeing other viewpoints can help with compassion, though, and that might be a necessary ingredient for a society. Not that that's your concern: an individual is negligible to the behavior of the collective.
IIRC, WD > 6TB are all 7K2 and HGST. HGST itself is "a WD company" but for antitrust reasons the corporates are separate.
It's also the case that there are a lot more people living in undemocratic countries than in democratic ones. I understand the need to have multiple solutions to this problem, but this can never become an alternative for platforms taking more responsibility for content themselves. And, for democratic countries to create a grand coalition to set norms in this space.
> Firstly, because no one could tell us how it really worked, how does it know what we consider an anomaly?

Some old-fashioned techniques (eg. just triggering on high deviations with adjustment for seasonality) are at least explicable, given a little time. But they don't get much buzz.

My own view is that the untreated problem for most attempts to apply time series analysis / anomaly detection / concept drift / process control is that the time series observed are highly variable to begin with. A highly variable series means (1) you need more data to build the predictions, (2) those predictions are less certain and (3) the false positives will be higher.

Put another way: the need for such tools is a symptom, and a treatment, but not a cure.

Making software more predictable is more value-adding than building ever more elaborate predictors.

If they are "established" somewhere in the EU, then all GDPR complaints get forwarded to the DPA for the country where they are established. This is called the "one-stop shop mechanism."

If the Norwegian DPA is the one handling this case, probably that's because Grindr's EU operations are legally established in Norway. If they don't have an "establishment" in the EU, then I think it's up-for-grabs, and my gut is that NOYB would have preferred to file in France or Germany.

This is why GDPR actions against Facebook, Google, etc. all go through the (under-resourced) Irish DPA: US companies are all based there for tax reasons. It's... becoming a problem.

> "dispense with the open world interpretation“

That can mean anything from "we have some conventional (e.g. plain old RDBMS) CWA systems but describe their schemas in an OWA DL to ease integration across independent systems" (in particular this means no CWA implications outside those built into the conventional systems with or without a semweb layer on top) to "we do a big bucket of RDF and run it all through a set of rules formulated in OWL syntax but applied in an entirely different way" (CWA everywhere). The former would be semweb as intended, or at least a subset thereof, but the latter could easily end up somewhere between simple brand abuse and almost comical cargo culting.

Well, at least that's how I feel as someone who never had to face the realities of the vast unmapped territories between plain old database applications and fascinating yet entirely impractical academic mind games of DL (old school symbolic AI ivory tower that suddenly happened to find itself in the center of the hottest w3c spec right before w3c specs kind of stopped being a thing, with WHATWG usurping html and Crockford almost accidentally killing XML)

Data protection officials are generally understaffed and underfunded. GDPR has increased public awareness, scope and thereby caseload.
